I need your help. I`m looking for a picture of a convoy at sea. Well this is the easy part of my Story. It must not be an Aerial picture. But from one of the ships that is going in the convoy. What basically needs to be in the picture is a spreaded Convoy with the Horison as one line and on that line several ships seen from the front (I believe you call that Bow) (Yeah I know stupid armor guy invading Marine territory) all having different sizes.
If possible the pic must be as big as possible
Could anybody help me out?
Thanks in advance

There is an excellent photo source. You may have to wade around a bit, but you probably can find something useful here:

Ola Guys
Well I have to say thanks for the time and the links. Some brilliant pics I have found there which will be very usefull in the future.
Basically this was what I wanted to make
And I will say I spend a huge amount of time browsing the web looking for just that one picture. But since it is not the only banner I have to make there will be some pics which will feature in future banners
Thanks (or do I have to say Aaaarrrhh) Mateys

Seems you stumbled across some better pics than what I had given you......
Now that would be a diorama for the ages...

Ola Guys
@Skipper
Well Actually I`m not planning a campaign at the moment. ( I have to say I would be afraid to start a warship campaign as an Armor guy even though I have a half finished Bismarck laying in my Modelling corner. ) bacially this banner is especially made as a header for the DG system here at Armorama. More info can be found here and here. Since there are much more Warships banners to make I can use every pic that catches my eye.
@Jerry
I think I`m going to contact that Gator guy to see if he has pics that fit my preferences. Thanks for the tip.
@Paul
Yes I found exactly the right picture I needed but believe me it wasn`t easy. I turned over the complete Internet to get this one. I saw in the link you provided a couple of good pics. which elements of them can be very usefull in the future work for the banners
Guys thanks for your Brilliant help.
